Concrete and steel are the two biggest industrial products that aren’t fossil fuels, and have a massive climate footprint. They are used together in reinforced concrete, the structural solution that ...

Concrete's strength and structural integrity come not only in its material properties, but also from how it's molded during construction. An architecture student has devised a clever way to build ...

Concrete is the backbone of modern construction, but its heavy environmental footprint has long been a challenge for environmentalists. Cement production alone accounts for nearly eight percent of ...

Fully embracing nature-based design approaches could yield a 91% carbon improvement and a 30% cost savings on average, in ...

As the demand for more sustainable construction grows and raw material shortages like steel continue to be a challenge, fiber-reinforced concrete has become an increasingly popular choice for flatwork ...

Concrete and steel production are major sources of CO2 emissions, but a new solution from Cambridge could recycle both at the same time. Throwing old concrete into steel-processing furnaces not only ...

Concrete has enormous resistance to compressive stress, but it is a fragile material in terms of tension, which occurs when forces are applied in opposite directions of a structure, tending to ...

Landscape architects, architects, engineers, and interior designers look closely into design and product manufacturing to decarbonize the built environment. Image ...
